Will Aerodrome and Velodrome Dethrone Uniswap?
Alex Cutler and Ace are Core Contributors at Aerodrome and Velodrome.
In this episode, we discuss whether Aerodrome and Velodrome can dethrone Uniswap. Alex and Ace share why these popular ve(3,3) AMMs continue to capture a significant portion of Uniswap’s dominance on Base and Optimism, and how they’ve set the bar for teams championing the anti-VC sentiment with zero fees, no VC backing, and no major team unlocks.

Podcasts are for Back Pats
On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle do some back patting. A lot of it actually. But they aren't patting themselves on the back, well maybe a little. Instead they talk about the platform par excellence that The WIP has become as a stage for highlighting cool, weird things at the bleeding edge of the crypto space, and the spillover effects all of this has had on our personal lives.
